Mattress needed for Friday - Recommendations please!

suisidevw

Right, just been told our spare bed mattress is being taken back tomorrow by friends who lent it to us and we have 3 friends visiting this weekend.

This bed will be used maybe 30 times a year for visiting friends.

Spec:
Looking for a pretty firm mattress,
Pocket sprung
Double Size.
Hoping to have it all delivered for under £200. All advice, companies, beds etc recommended!

Thanks
Sam

Have a google, I got one the next day from Bedworld but it was over £300 (and well worth it, a Millbrook reduced from nearly £700). I also went through quidco to buy it and got another 10% cash back.

Mattress man is another site which gives next day delivery.

Thanks Hethmar for recommendation. Bit more than we want to spend considering it'll be used so rarely. Our own mattress is a lovely IPS one but can't justify that price for the spare room!

Having looked at a lot of mattresses online recently I would think you would struggle getting a double sized pocket spring for under £200. The very cheapest on bedworld and mattressman are £199 but the firmest of these is a medium firm so may not be enough for you.
I would also say that 30 times a year is fairly heavy use for a guest bed!

Yes, so would I! I'd probably change that to 20 nights total!

If not pocket sprung, any recommendations?!

Thanks ABT, but that's 10cm too big! They do stupid sizes to fit IKEA beds only I think>?!

A very slight second is available from here at £229, reduced from £375.

Topcashback at 8% reduces prices even further.

Good luck.

We bought a mattress yesterday, pocket sprung not big name brand.

We went to a local shop, because I feel it's important to try these things.....or is this view old hat?

Thanks Lynsey. Will give the mattress man a call now!

No Kabayiri, completely agree but as a spare room one I don't feel it so important and time isn't on our side!
